An expert for the Crown says the suspect in Quebec City’s Halloween 2020 murders is narcissistic, seeks recognition, and could not have been delirious the night of the stabbings.

Neuropsychologist Dr. William Pothier told jurors that Carl Girouard hesitated before murdering two people and injuring five others in the Old Quebec district on Oct. 31, 2020, adding that patients in a state of delirium don’t usually doubt themselves.
